Bath re-enamelling for Morecambe homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

About our bath re-enamelling in Morecambe

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Morecambe?

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Morecambe

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
